When personal data is dumped online,
it can take just nine minutes for bad guys to start using it, according to a
report from the Federal Trade Commission.

Over the course of three weeks in April and May, the FTC analyzed what happens when hacked personal data is shared
online.

Researchers created 100 fake consumers and gave them
fictitious personal information like names, emails and passwords, and either a
credit card, Bitcoin wallet, or online payment account. Then they posted the
collection of data on a site popular with leaking stolen credentials, once on
April 27 and a second time on May 4.

According to Dan Salsburg, acting chief at the FTC's Office
of Technology Research and Investigation, the the FTC observed two types of
identity thieves -- those who want to test credit cards' authenticity to resell
them, and those who tried making big purchases on things like clothing or
hotels.

"There are people laying there in wait, ready to pounce
on stolen credentials," Salsburg told CNNTech.

Nine minutes after the publication on May 4, thieves began
using the data -- a Twitter (TWTR,
Tech30)
bot picked up the posting, which could have helped speed up hacking attempts.
On April 27, it took one and a half hours before the fake credentials were
used.

All told, there were over 1,200 attempts to access accounts
belonging to the fake consumers. That includes a total of $12,825.53 attempted
credit card purchases and 493 attempts to access emails.

There are ways you can prevent cybercriminals from using
your data, even if it's published online. Salsburg said some of the test accounts
were protected by two-factor authentication, a security feature that requires a
second code in addition to your password (usually texted to your phone) to log
in to your account.

It's not a perfect solution -- if your phone gets stolen,
thieves could have access to your backup codes. But it is a simple and
effective security tool.

Identity thieves did not access the fake
accounts with two-factor authentication enabled +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Linguistic imperialism is the imposition of one language on speakers of other languages. Also
known as linguistic nationalism, linguistic dominance, and language
imperialism.

In our time, the global expansion of
English has often been cited as the primary
example of linguistic imperialism.

The term linguistic imperialism
originated in the 1930s as part of a critique of Basic English and was reintroduced by linguist Robert Phillipson in his monograph Linguistic
Imperialism (OUP, 1992).

In that study, Phillipson offered
this "working definition" of English linguistic imperialism:
"the dominance asserted and maintained by the establishment and continuous
reconstitution of structural and cultural inequalities between English and
other languages" (47). Phillipson viewed linguistic imperialism as a
"sub-type" of linguicism.

Examples
and Observations

"The study of linguistic imperialism can
help to clarify whether the winning of political independence led to a
linguistic liberation of Third World countries, and if not, why not. Are
the former colonial languages a useful bond with the international
community and necessary for state formation and national unity internally?
Or are they a bridgehead for Western interests, permitting the
continuation of a global system of marginalization and exploitation? What
is the relationship between linguistic dependence (continued use of a
European language in a former non-European colony) and economic dependence
(the export of raw materials and import of technology and know-how)?"

"The rejection of the linguistic legitimacy of a
language--any language used by any linguistic community--in
short, amounts to little more than an example of the tyranny of the
majority. Such a rejection reinforces the long tradition and history of linguistic
imperialism in our society. The harm, though, is done not only to
those whose languages we reject, but in fact to all of us, as we are made
poorer by an unnecessary narrowing of our cultural and linguistic
universe."

"The fact that . . . no uniform British
empire-wide language policy developed tends to disconfirm the hypothesis
of linguistic imperialism as responsible for the spread of English.
. . .

"The teaching of English by itself, . . . , even where it did take
place, is not sufficient grounds to identify the policy of the British
empire with linguistic imperialism."
(Janina Brutt-Griffler, World English: A Study of Its Development.
Multilingual Matters, 2002)

Linguistic
Imperialism in Sociolinguistics

"There is by now a well-entrenched and very
respectable branch of sociolinguistics which is concerned with
describing the world of globalization from the perspective of linguistic
imperialism and 'linguicide' (Phillipson 1992; Skutnabb-Kangas 2000),
often based on particular ecological metaphors. These approaches . . .
oddly assume that wherever a 'big' and 'powerful' language such as English
'appears' in a foreign territory, small indigenous languages will 'die.'
There is, in this image of sociolinguistic space, place for just one
language at a time. In general, there seems to be a serious problem with
the ways in which space is imagined in such work. In addition, the actual
sociolinguistic details of such processes are rarely spelled
out--languages can be used in vernacular or in lingua franca varieties and so create
different sociolinguistic conditions for mutual influencing."
(Jan Blommaert, The Sociolinguistics of Globalization. Cambridge
University Press, 2010)

Colonialism
and Linguistic Imperialism

"Anachronistic views of linguistic imperialism,
which see as important only the power asymmetry between the former
colonial nations and the nations of the 'third world,' are hopelessly
inadequate as an explanation of linguistic realities. They especially
ignore the fact that 'first world' countries with strong languages seem to
be under just as much pressure to adopt English, and that some of the
harshest attacks on English have come from countries which have no such
colonial legacy. When dominant languages feel they are being dominated,
something much bigger than a simplistic conception of power relations must
be involved."

(David
Crystal, English as a Global Language, 2nd ed. Cambridge University
Press, 2003)
